This time they learned their lesson and shortened the distance between each team so that they could rush to reinforce as soon as there was any movement.
However, it was more difficult to search for them again because the blockade had been broken and most of the people had already escaped. In addition, after another night, there was dew on the ground and the military dogs could no longer smell their scent.
But there was no other way. This was their mission and they had to carry it out no matter how hard they tried. Besides, they would be rewarded if they caught the key person.
At this moment, Xiang Jingtian and the other six people directly returned to a place not far from their starting point. As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. It has to be said that they are really brave. Fortunately, they found a lot of water and dry food. The amount of dry food is enough for them to last until the seventh day. The biggest problem is water. The water here is only enough for two days, and the nearest water source is four or five kilometers away from them.
It goes without saying that there must be someone guarding the water. A person can go without food for three days, but will die of thirst if he does not drink water for three days, so it is very difficult to drink water.
This little thing was not a difficult task for Xiang Jingtian. He carried a shopping mall with him, which had everything, including food and drinks. As long as he had points, he could buy anything he wanted. But he didn't want to use them because this was an assessment and letting them off could be fatal.
Xiang Jingtian said, "We're all tired after running all night. Let's take turns standing guard, every five hours. I'll be the first one, and you guys should catch up on some sleep."
But in fact, he was not sleepy at all. He drank a bottle of mental potion last night. After drinking it, he felt refreshed and the fatigue on his body disappeared instantly. They had no system, no mental potion, they were just ordinary people.
When everyone was asleep, he sat down too. Although he felt refreshed, he still needed to replenish his physical strength after the long journey. Anyway, the early warning radar was on and would immediately sound the alarm if there was any movement.
He sat on the ground and thought about his previous life. He was so comfortable back then. He could do whatever he wanted every day as long as he completed his mission. But now he finally completed the mission and was about to enjoy his retirement when an accident happened. Fortunately, he survived, otherwise he would have been seriously disabled. This was not what he wanted. Since he was here, he might as well do his job well. Besides, there was a bug, so he went straight to the top.
As he thought about it, he closed his eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford much consumption of potions every time. This was also his problem. Most people wouldn't dare to choose to sleep in this situation.
They slept until four or five in the afternoon, as if they were jet-lagged. Xiang Jingtian was the first to wake up because he was on guard duty. It would be troublesome if someone saw him sitting down and sleeping instead of on guard, because it would bring him trouble.
It wasn't long before midnight, and each team was equipped with a military dog. It would be unrealistic to launch a sneak attack like yesterday, because military dogs have strong sense of smell, hearing, and perception. If they start barking before you get close and then a group of people chase you, that would be boring, but they didn't know that yet.
At this time, the paratrooper said: "Will you continue tonight?"
Xiang Jingtian said: "There is only their headquarters in front of us, do you want to go or not?"
The paratrooper shook his head and said, "No, if I go, I'll just go back."
Xiang Jingtian said: "That's it, I don't know where they are."
He really didn't know, because there were only people at the command center nearby, and there were only animals anywhere else.
The monkey said, "Brother Tian, let's go get some water. It will be gone tomorrow."
He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, the others stay here, we'll be back soon."
The two of them picked up the other people's water bottles and set off. It was a sunny day today, and the moon at night was particularly bright, illuminating the ground in white. Even without night vision glasses, they could still feel their way.
Soon the two arrived at the lake. Xiang Jingtian had already discovered that there was a group of people guarding here, probably a platoon, but the difference was that there was an extra military dog here today.
Xiang Jingtian whispered: "It's bad, the other side has added military dogs, I'm afraid the two of us will be exposed."
The monkey said, "Don't panic. The dog doesn't bark at its own people. I'm going to get some water."
As soon as he squatted down, the military dog barked. He was so scared that he quickly climbed up and said, "Fuck, it's just getting water. Why is it barking? It's not yours."
Xiang Jingtian hurriedly said: "If you don't run, you will be caught."
The two of them started running at this moment. Fortunately, they were one kilometer away, which left them some buffer time.
When they arrived, the military dog began to smell the scent. The platoon leader said, "Sure enough, someone came here to drink water. It looks like they haven't run far. Let's quickly fire a signal flare to contact them to come and look for them together. The military dog already knows the direction."
The soldier said, “Yes.”
Then a red flare was fired into the sky.
The two of them also saw the red flare. This was bad, they were completely exposed. This red flare must have been sent out after finding someone.
Xiang Jingtian said: "Hurry up and run back to inform them."
The monkey said, "Damn it! Fortunately I slept well during the day, so I feel more energetic when running at night."
After a while, the two arrived at the gathering point and said to Jingtian: "Quickly pack up and follow me, a group of people are chasing us."
The paratrooper asked: "What's going on?"
Monkey said: "These people are disgusting. They actually controlled the water source and even set up dogs to watch it. I just made a pot of water and they started barking. Then, not long after we ran, a signal flare came. There must be a large group of people coming behind us."
Xiang Jingtian found the red dot on the radar and hurriedly said: "Run this way, they are coming."
Without hesitation, everyone picked up their weapons and ran in that direction.
When the military dog arrived at the place, it saw some garbage. The platoon leader said, "They just left not long ago, Black Dragon, keep looking for them."
I have to say that the military dogs were well-trained and were first-rate at finding things. After sniffing a few times, they found the direction they were heading, but they had already run a long way.
At this time, they ran to the downstream part of the river on the first day. It seems that things will be better after crossing the river. After all, the water can remove the smell, otherwise the military dog will keep chasing them.
He said: "I'm afraid it's about to pass, and the people behind will be here soon."
Everyone nodded and started to take off their clothes. The water at night was still relatively cold compared to the daytime, but they endured it for the sake of the assessment. There would be more brutal training in the future, and if this little bit of cold could stump them, they would be doomed.
